What Democracy Depends On: Part 2

In Part Two, Joe Tucker and Keep Our Republic Article III Coalition judges Robert B. Kugler and Robert Cindrich examine the tangible economic and social damage that follows when the Rule of Law is disregarded. From strained business relationships and financial uncertainty to real harm in people's daily lives, they warn that without the assurance of fair, consistent laws, the consequences can be disastrous. They close by underscoring the essential role of juries and everyday civic participation, reminding listeners that the Rule of Law ultimately depends not only on courts and judges, but on citizens who show up, serve, and take part in democracy.   Keep Our Republic's Article III Coalition is a bipartisan group of more than 50 retired federal judges appointed by presidents of both parties, dedicated to defending judicial independence, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. Through civic education and public engagement, the Article III Coalition helps the public understand the judiciary's essential role in preserving our constitutional republic.
